New York City, New York
Radio City Music Hall, located within Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan, is an Art Deco masterpiece known as the "Showplace of the Nation." Opened in 1932, it is the world's largest indoor theater and the home of the legendary Rockettes.
The theater's stunning Art Deco interior, designed by Donald Deskey, is a highlight in itself. The "Great Stage" is a marvel of engineering, and the massive 60-foot-high marquee is one of the most recognizable sights in NYC.
Attend the annual "Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes," see a concert by a world-famous artist, or take the "Stage Door Tour." The tour provides an insider's look at the auditorium, the secret "Roxy Suite," and a chance to meet a Rockette.
The holiday season (November through early January) is the busiest and most iconic time to visit for the Christmas Spectacular. Tours are available year-round and offer a quieter way to appreciate the architecture.
Tickets are required for all performances and tours. Security screening is mandatory. The hall is centrally located in Midtown and is easily accessible via the B, D, F, and M subway lines at the 47th-50th Sts-Rockefeller Ctr station.
The venue features several bars and concession stands during shows. A gift shop sells Rockettes and Radio City-themed merchandise. The hall is fully accessible for guests with disabilities.
Arrive early for shows to admire the grand lobby and its famous "Fountain of Youth" mural. If you're taking the tour, book in advance as it frequently sells out. Be mindful of the venue's strict bag and security policies.
Radio City is part of the Rockefeller Center complex, which includes the Top of the Rock observation deck, the NBC Studios, and the famous skating rink. St. Patrick's Cathedral is just across Fifth Avenue.
